Does anyone else find it amusing/ironic that the head swat team guy in the recent episodes used to play that guy on the show "Early Edition" that would get newspapers a day in advance and would try to prevent tragedies that would have happened?

Just saw tonight's episode. I've only caught the last 2 episodes - guess they were 2 good ones to catch!

So was the character of Meredith with Patrick Dempsey before and now he's with another woman, the doctor who delivered the other doctor's baby?

....just breathe...

The other woman is his wife.

Before the show started taking place, they were married, and he walked in on her cheating with his best friend. He walked out on her after that and went to Seattle where the show takes place. He met Meredith, and they fell in love. He never told her he was married. At the end of season 1, his wife(a doctor) showed up at the hospital in Seattle out of nowhere, seeing him with Meredith. Caught by surprise, he admitted the truth to Meredith. His wife gave him divorce papers but he couldn't sign them. He said she was 'his family' and that he couldn't just sign that away without trying some more. So he chose his wife for the time being, but he's still in love with Meredith, Meredith is still in love with him, and everybody and their mother can see that he is not in love with his wife anymore, but he's sort of trying to make himself believe that he does.
